Harriers continue winning ways with oung runners A winning season is getting to be a tradition with Coach Vern Mc- Carthy's cross-country team. The 1968 season was a clean sweep on all levels. The varsity record was an unprecedented 10-0. The reserve's record of 6-0-1 was marred only by a tie with Speedway. Lastly, the freshmen battled to a 3-1 record placing second in the city. lunior Bill Hicks paced the varsity team as he lead Northwest to a sec- ond in the city, a third in the sec- tional, and a seventh in the regional. Hicks himself was city champion. At the reserve level, the second string also took a second in the city. Tom Mahler and Ron Selby paced the team and are expected to shine on the 1969 varsity team. Hard-working runners like senior Dan Rans- dell made possible Coach McCarty's victor- ious season.

Individual improvement aids varsity net season One word could have described the 1969 basketball season-im- provement. The 9-13 season began with high hopes and, although the tough teams were played early in the season, these hopes were ful- filled. Two underclassmen formed the nucleus of the team. Louis Burns and Mendel Smith were responsi- ble for more than one victory. Illness plagued the Pioneers. Dave McClellen and Ted Young were hindered. As the season progressed, the senior players declined as the newer players improved. For next season, Coach Bill Ritter predicted that if the boys give a good sum- mer effort, we should be one of the toughest teams in the area.
